If this fits the allotted line length, -great. -```py3 -# in: +_Black_ is a well-behaved Unix-style command-line tool: -l = [1, - 2, - 3, -] +- it does nothing if no sources are passed to it; +- it will read from standard input and write to standard output if `-` is used as the + filename; +- it only outputs messages to users on standard error; +- exits with code 0 unless an internal error occurred (or `--check` was used). -# out: +### Using _Black_ with other tools -l = [1, 2, 3] -``` +While _Black_ enforces formatting that conforms to PEP 8, other tools may raise warnings +about _Black_'s changes or will overwrite _Black_'s changes. A good example of this is +[isort](https://pypi.org/p/isort). Since _Black_ is barely configurable, these tools +should be configured to neither warn about nor overwrite _Black_'s changes. -If not, *Black* will look at the contents of the first outer matching -brackets and put that in a separate indented line. -```py3 -# in: +Actual details on _Black_ compatible configurations for various tools can be found in +[compatible_configs](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/compatible_configs.md#black-compatible-configurations). -l = [[n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()]] +### Migrating your code style without ruining git blame -# out: +A long-standing argument against moving to automated code formatters like _Black_ is +that the migration will clutter up the output of `git blame`. This was a valid argument, +but since Git version 2.23, Git natively supports +[ignoring revisions in blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#Documentation/git-blame.txt---ignore-revltrevgt) +with the `--ignore-rev` option. You can also pass a file listing the revisions to ignore +using the `--ignore-revs-file` option. The changes made by the revision will be ignored +when assigning blame. Lines modified by an ignored revision will be blamed on the +previous revision that modified those lines. -l = [ - [n for n in list_bosses()], [n for n in list_employees()] -] -``` +So when migrating your project's code style to _Black_, reformat everything and commit +the changes (preferably in one massive commit). Then put the full 40 characters commit +identifier(s) into a file. -If that still doesn't fit the bill, it will decompose the internal -expression further using the same rule, indenting matching brackets -every time. If the contents of the matching brackets pair are -comma-separated (like an argument list, or a dict literal, and so on) -then *Black* will first try to keep them on the same line with the -matching brackets. If that doesn't work, it will put all of them in -separate lines. -```py3 -# in: - -def very_important_function(template: str, *variables, file: os.PathLike, debug: bool = False): - """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`.""" - with open(file, 'w') as f: - ... - -# out: - -def very_important_function( - template: str, - *variables, - file: os.PathLike, - debug: bool = False, -): - """Applies `variables` to the `template` and writes to `file`.""" - with open(file, 'w') as f: - ... ``` - -You might have noticed that closing brackets are always dedented and -that a trailing comma is always added. Such formatting produces smaller -diffs; when you add or remove an element, it's always just one line. -Also, having the closing bracket dedented provides a clear delimiter -between two distinct sections of the code that otherwise share the same -indentation level (like the arguments list and the docstring in the -example above). - -Unnecessary trailing commas are removed if an expression fits in one -line. This makes it 1% more likely that your line won't exceed the -allotted line length limit. - -*Black* avoids spurious vertical whitespace. This is in the spirit of -PEP 8 which says that in-function vertical whitespace should only be -used sparingly. One exception is control flow statements: *Black* will -always emit an extra empty line after ``return``, ``raise``, ``break``, -``continue``, and ``yield``. This is to make changes in control flow -more prominent to readers of your code. - -That's it. The rest of the whitespace formatting rules follow PEP 8 and -are designed to keep `pycodestyle` quiet. - - -### Line length - -You probably noticed the peculiar default line length. *Black* defaults -to 88 characters per line, which happens to be 10% over 80. This number -was found to produce significantly shorter files than sticking with 80 -(the most popular), or even 79 (used by the standard library). In -general, [90-ish seems like the wise choice](https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=260). - -If you're paid by the line of code you write, you can pass -`--line-length` with a lower number. *Black* will try to respect that. -However, sometimes it won't be able to without breaking other rules. In -those rare cases, auto-formatted code will exceed your allotted limit. - -You can also increase it, but remember that people with sight disabilities -find it harder to work with line lengths exceeding 100 characters. -It also adversely affects side-by-side diff review on typical screen -resolutions. Long lines also make it harder to present code neatly -in documentation or talk slides. - -If you're using Flake8, you can bump `max-line-length` to 88 and forget -about it. Alternatively, use [Bugbear](https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8-bugbear)'s -B950 warning instead of E501 and keep the max line length at 80 which -you are probably already using. You'd do it like this: -```ini -[flake8] -max-line-length = 80 -... -select = C,E,F,W,B,B950 -ignore = E501 +# Migrate code style to Black +5b4ab991dede475d393e9d69ec388fd6bd949699 ``` -You'll find *Black*'s own .flake8 config file is configured like this. -If you're curious about the reasoning behind B950, Bugbear's documentation -explains it. The tl;dr is "it's like highway speed limits, we won't -bother you if you overdo it by a few km/h". - - -### Empty lines - -*Black* will allow single empty lines left by the original editors, -except when they're added within parenthesized expressions. Since such -expressions are always reformatted to fit minimal space, this whitespace -is lost. +Afterwards, you can pass that file to `git blame` and see clean and meaningful blame +information. -It will also insert proper spacing before and after function definitions. -It's one line before and after inner functions and two lines before and -after module-level functions. *Black* will put those empty lines also -between the function definition and any standalone comments that -immediately precede the given function. If you want to comment on the -entire function, use a docstring or put a leading comment in the function -body. +```console +$ git blame important.py --ignore-revs-file .git-blame-ignore-revs +7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 1) def very_important_function(text, file): +abdfd8b0 (Alice Doe 2019-09-23 11:39:32 -0400 2) text = text.lstrip() +7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 3) with open(file, "r+") as f: +7a1ae265 (John Smith 2019-04-15 15:55:13 -0400 4) f.write(formatted) +``` +You can even configure `git` to automatically ignore revisions listed in a file on every +call to `git blame`. -### Editor integration +```console +$ git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs +``` -* Visual Studio Code: [joslarson.black-vscode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=joslarson.black-vscode) -* Emacs: [proofit404/blacken](https://github.com/proofit404/blacken) +**The one caveat is that GitHub and GitLab do not yet support ignoring revisions using +their native UI of blame.** So blame information will be cluttered with a reformatting +commit on those platforms.

It is not configurable. It doesn't take previous formatting into account. Your +main option of configuring _Black_ is that it doesn't reformat blocks that start with +`# fmt: off` and end with `# fmt: on`, or lines that ends with `# fmt: skip`.

What seems like a bug might be +intended behaviour. + +## Pragmatism + +Early versions of _Black_ used to be absolutist in some respects. They took after its +initial author. This was fine at the time as it made the implementation simpler and +there were not many users anyway. Not many edge cases were reported. As a mature tool, +_Black_ does make some exceptions to rules it otherwise holds. This +[section](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#pragmatism) +of `the_black_code_style` describes what those exceptions are and why this is the case. + +Please refer to this document before submitting an issue just like with the document +above. What seems like a bug might be intended behaviour. + +## pyproject.toml + +_Black_ is able to read project-specific default values for its command line options +from a `pyproject.toml` file. This is especially useful for specifying custom +`--include` and `--exclude` patterns for your project. + +**Pro-tip**: If you're asking yourself "Do I need to configure anything?" the answer is +"No". _Black_ is all about sensible defaults. + +### What on Earth is a `pyproject.toml` file? + +[PEP 518](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/) defines `pyproject.toml` as a +configuration file to store build system requirements for Python projects. With the help +of tools like [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) or +[Flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) it can fully replace the need for +`setup.py` and `setup.cfg` files. + +### Where _Black_ looks for the file + +By default _Black_ looks for `pyproject.toml` starting from the common base directory of +all files and directories passed on the command line. If it's not there, it looks in +parent directories. It stops looking when it finds the file, or a `.git` directory, or a +`.hg` directory, or the root of the file system, whichever comes first. + +If you're formatting standard input, _Black_ will look for configuration starting from +the current working directory. + +You can also explicitly specify the path to a particular file that you want with +`--config`. In this situation _Black_ will not look for any other file. + +If you're running with `--verbose`, you will see a blue message if a file was found and +used. + +Please note `blackd` will not use `pyproject.toml` configuration. + +### Configuration format + +As the file extension suggests, `pyproject.toml` is a +[TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file. It contains separate sections for +different tools. _Black_ is using the `[tool.black]` section. The option keys are the +same as long names of options on the command line. + +Note that you have to use single-quoted strings in TOML for regular expressions. It's +the equivalent of r-strings in Python. Multiline strings are treated as verbose regular +expressions by Black. Use `[ ]` to denote a significant space character. + +pyproject.toml
